Aage Niels Bohr

Aage Niels Bohr was a Danish physicist known for his significant contributions to nuclear physics. Born in 1922, he was the son of the famous physicist Niels Bohr. Aage Bohr won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1975 for his work on the structure of atomic nuclei, particularly his research on how nucleons (protons and neutrons) behave in clusters. His findings enhanced our understanding of nuclear reactions and the forces within the atomic nucleus, impacting fields like nuclear energy and medical imaging. Bohr's legacy continues through his contributions to science and his relationship to his father's groundbreaking work in quantum mechanics.
